Champions League

[Morten]

We got away with that one

That said, City will be full strength in the return fixture, and we aren't any better at home, so advantage City.

xG: Man City (3.08) 4-3 (1.66) Real Madrid

Break it down:

City 6 (!) big chances, RM 2 (the pen, and Vini's goal)

Translation:
Getting battered unmercifully for 90min, while been handed 2 goals by 2 mistakes

And then you have clowns like Wolfe trying to argue they are anywhere close the top4 in Europe

MATS is ass.

Never said MATS is good. But people are now extending the 'ass' label to Mendy and Ederson because of mistakes/in Ederson's case nothing really this game lol. First he could have done better but 2nd is tough to save even from a favourable angle.

 

[Horatio]

City will score at least 1 in Bernabeu. Hope 2.

I don't trust Ederson. Looked nervous as hell playing out back.

It's usually the MATS fans.

Although Ederson's shot stopping really isn't anything special IMO.

In all seriousness I do think City will beat Madrid again. Walker is rapid so Vinicius will have a harder evening.

He's out for the season.......apparently (Yeah I don't believe it either)

Laporte = Lenglet = Garcia


I guess City didn't want 2 CBs of the same profile.

 

[Joan]

Must put some money on Real next week. They'll go through with some wicked shithousery.

Benzema is (rightfully) nailed on for the Balon d' Or.

Just hope Real doesn't win the CL.

Used to be a Laporte fan, but despite being tall and physical he plays like he's Riqui Puig in stature. At least Eric Garcia has his excuse lol but what is Laporte's?

De Bruyne was by far best midfielder on the park. Best CM-AM in the world bar none.

You are a man of stats and figures.

When something keeps happening, over and over again, it is not luck, it's a constant. It is in their DNA to get lucky and rob teams in the CL.

Laporte is twice as good as both of those bums combined.

Had a shocker today though no doubt.

 

[te amo barca]

Birdy still in denial

CL is a competition of fine margins and luck, but to get at the end of that you need a never give up attitude. This is why teams like Madrid and Liverpool are so successful in this competition.
